Thomas Mitchell

Highest Rated: 100% Make Way for Tomorrow (1937)

Lowest Rated: 50% Pocketful of Miracles (1961)

Birthday: Jul 11, 1892

Birthplace: Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA

One of Hollywood's most versatile character actors from the early 1920s through the 50s. Mitchell's range easily accommodated both comedy and melodrama, and his memorable gallery of characters included the tippling doctor in "Stagecoach" (1939) and the proud Irish patriarch in "Gone With the Wind" (1939).
